“Maleficent” is the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.

Maleficent is being directed by Robert Stromberg, based on a screenplay by Paul Dini and Linda Woolverton. The cast includes: Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Juno Temple, Sam Riley, Miranda Richardson and Imelda Staunton. Will land in theaters May 30, 2014.

I will admit she looks just like Maleficent but the rest of the movie is really meh. Last thing though again what is with these 'epic" retelling of Disney fairy tail stories and what are suppose to be the most beautiful girls in the stories aka Snow White and Aurora are completely and utterly outclassed by the villains aka the evil queen and Maleficent. Sorry this girl is not really gifted with beauty not saying she is ugly but she definitely wasn't magically gifted with beauty and not going to even get started on Kristen Stewart.

I would definitely say number 2 really because in all actuality there is really only one really evil Disney villain. One that would have his own version of the Nuremburg Trials because he was planning on committing genocide.

Yes the one and only Judge Claude Frollo

voiced by the late great Tony Jay the man wanted to have an ethnic cleansing of Paris to wipe away the gypsies that he saw as a plague on Paris. If that wasn't bad enough the man tried to commit infanticide on Quasimodo after killing his mother on the steps of Notre Dame. He also was so horny that if he couldn't bone Esmeralda he rather have her burned at the stake. I mean shit if that isn't the most evil villain in Disney then I don't know what is.

Ya watching that movie as an adult it really is one of if not Disney's most risque movie. Dealing with issues of religion, racism, lust, and other issues Disney does not generally tread on. The only thing that would probably make it one of Disney's greatest animated movies is if they got rid of the gargoyles which are purely there for the kids and comedic relief. Watching a review on the movie by the Nostalgia Critic he said how it seems Disney on this movie were kinda fighting themselves over all of the dark adult subjects so they would throw in things like the gargoyles or the goat to counteract that. He did bring up a good point though was what if the gargoyles were imaginary as in Quasimodo thought the gargoyles came to life. Which would be an interesting look into Quasi's psyche but no they were real fighting against Frolo's men. So besides the stupid gargoyles and such Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of Disney's best movies.

Here is my opinion. I am disappointed at this trailer because they are trying to make people feel sorry for Maleficent and they are ruining the reason why people loved her character. People loved Maleficent because she was a powerful female villain that was unapologetically evil!! That's why she was so bad ass!!! I am also very angry that they have ruined Princess Aurora. Elle Fanning is too young and not pretty enough to play princess Aurora. They didn't even try to make her look like Aurora. Her look is iconic!! Elle Fanning's hair is wrong. Where are her bangs?? Her costume is horrible. She isn't wearing any of the outfits that Princess Aurora wore. Where is her gray dress with the black bodice?? Where is the dress that changes from Blue to Pink??? That is one of the features that made Aurora stand OUT!!! She is the only Disney Princess that had a dress that changes color!!!! Prince Phillip Needs a HAIR CUT!! Where is his RED cape??? Don't get me started on the Fairies they are all wrong too!!!! and Last of all Why ISNT Maleficent GREEN??? Maleficent is GREEN!!!!
